'Why are you in my country?' the man confronts the Indian. Confused by the confrontation, the Indian-origin man did not engage. 'I don't like you guys here. There are too many of you guys here. Indians! You guys are flooding all the white countries. I am tired of it. Americans are sick of this sh**. I want you to go back to India,' he says.
'Alright,' says the Indian man before leaving. 'Tired of this fu**** brown people invading the country. fu**** bullshit,' the American says before turning off the camera.

The video quickly drew attention, accumulating over a million views, and several social media users slammed the American man.
'He should have asked that question to his Govt instead of asking the guy who came there legally. But no. They will elect their Govt happily without raising any question, but harass the people who are legally there,' said a user.
Another user commented, 'Nothing, they're just intimidated by Indians! They know how talented, capable, and progressive we are. It only shows their insecurities. They see us as a threat.'
'This type of interaction is unfortunately becoming more common. Usually comes from a place of deep insecurity, this guy probably has little else to be proud of other than accomplishments by other white guys,' a third user reacted.

Abu Salem told to approach SC for clarity on remission in 1993 blasts case
MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Monday directed gangster Abu Salem to approach the Supreme Court for clarification on whether he is entitled to remission while serving a life sentence in two Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) cases, including the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings.

In July 2024, he had moved a special TADA court seeking a tentative date of release, but the court declined to consider remission, citing the grave nature of the offences. {{^userSubscribed}} {{^usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{#usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{^usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{#usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^usCountry}} In July 2022, while deciding Salem's appeals against convictions in both cases, the Supreme Court observed that Salem's sentence must be computed from October 12, 2005, the date of his arrest, and that he was entitled to release upon completing 25 years in custody.

'They are not considering my jail-earned remission,' Malhotra told the court. Remission can be granted on various grounds, including good behaviour and completion of a portion of the sentence. However, the high court pointed out that the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling made no mention of remission. 'Do you want us to say something that the Supreme Court has not said?' the bench asked. 'This clarification needs to come from the Supreme Court,' it added. The bench admitted Salem's petition but declined interim relief, stating that it would be heard in due course. {{^userSubscribed}} {{^usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{#usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{^usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{#usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} {{/userSubscribed}} SHARE THIS ARTICLE ON

Brics 2025: 'We don't want an emperor,' says Brazil's Lula; slams Trump tariffs, hints at dollar alternative
AP photo Brazilian President Lula da Silva took a sharp dig at Donald Trump as the Brics summit wrapped up on Monday: "The world has changed. We don't want an emperor". His words came just hours after the US President took to his familiar playbook of tariff threats, warning the bloc of extra duties if they took what he branded as "anti-American" positions. The warning? A 10 per cent tariff against Brics nations -- unless, of course, they looked for their interest rather than American interest! In his trade salvo on Sunday night, Trump said that this administration was preparing to finalise dozens of bilateral deals before a self-imposed July 9 deadline. But the developing powers weren't biting. "This is a set of countries that wants to find another way of organising the world from the economic perspective," Lula said, according to news agency Reuters, adding, "I think that's why the Brics are making people uncomfortable." According to a source familiar with the matter, the White House isn't planning to slap that 10 per cent tariff immediately. But if the bloc's policies appear "anti-American," the trigger could be pulled. At the Rio summit's close, Lula doubled down on his call for a diversified global economy. He took aim at the dollar's dominance in international trade, saying: 'The world needs to find a way that our trade relations don't have to pass through the dollar.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'Obviously, we have to be responsible about doing that carefully. Our central banks have to discuss it with central banks from other countries,' he clarified. 'That's something that happens gradually until it's consolidated.' In February, Trump had already warned of '100 per cent tariffs' on the Brics nations if they dared undermine the dollar's role. That same threat seems to have cooled the bloc's ambitions for a common currency, an idea floated last year but quietly parked under Brazil's current presidency. Other Brics members offered a more diplomatic response to Trump's outburst. South African president Cyril Ramaphosa said the bloc 'does not seek to compete with any other power,' and voiced optimism about reaching a trade understanding with the US. Over in Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning was characteristically measured: 'Tariffs should not be used as a tool for coercion and pressuring,' she said, noting that the Brics favours 'win-win cooperation' and 'does not target any country.' The Kremlin, for its part, reminded reporters that its work within the Brics reflects a "common world view" that "will never be directed against third countries". Without naming the US, the Brics group in Rio, including India, raised "serious concerns" about the rise of tariffs which it said were 'inconsistent with WTO (World Trade Organisation) rules.' The restrictions 'threaten to reduce global trade, disrupt global supply chains, and introduce uncertainty," the group said in a statement even as there was confusion even in Washington about the efficacy of the Trump approach.

Trump Tariffs: India's pharma, auto, textile sector to be in focus; here's why
US President Donald Trump's tariffs are set to take effect on Friday, August 1. Therefore, the 90-day grace period for reciprocal tariffs that was initially scheduled to end this Wednesday, July 9, has been extended due to stalled negotiations. On Monday, July 7, US President Donald Trump disclosed letters his administration sent to different trading partners notifying them of the reciprocal tariff rates that will be in effect starting August 1, 2025. The first two letters shared by Trump on the social media platform Truth Social indicated that the US will apply a 25% tariff on Japan and South Korea. After a brief pause, the US President also released tariff letters for additional countries including Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, South Africa, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Tunisia, Malaysia, Serbia, Cambodia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. On Monday, Trump announced proposals for a 40% tariff on products imported from Myanmar and Laos, a 36% tariff on goods from Thailand and Cambodia, a 35% tariff on items from Serbia and Bangladesh, a 32% tariff on imports from Indonesia, a 30% tariff on products from South Africa, and a 25% tariff on goods from Malaysia and Tunisia. On Sunday, July 6, Trump announced that he might send out as many as 15 initial letters, warning that US import taxes would return to the higher rates implemented in April if countries fail to reach agreements. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States is nearing a trade agreement with India. Amidst this backdrop, experts highlight the potential impact that different sectors may experience in India as a result tariffs. Mohit Gulati, the CIO and managing partner of ITI Growth Opportunities Fund, said that, in sectors where India enjoys a near-monopoly or dominant market share—such as certain generics in pharmaceuticals and specialized textiles—India will be in a strong position to dictate terms to US buyers, leveraging its indispensability and global supply chain strength. For these monopolistic exports, the US will have limited alternatives, giving Indian exporters greater pricing and negotiation power. Gulati highlighted that for the broader range of exports, however, the scenario is more nuanced. Key sectors like gems & jewellery, electronics, textiles, and auto components will face both opportunities and challenges as tariffs rise. While some Indian exporters may benefit from rivals like China and Vietnam being hit with even steeper duties, others could see margins squeezed and competitiveness tested. There will be pluses and minuses across the board, with the final impact depending on sectoral dynamics, government support, and the evolving terms of the India-US trade deal. "Ultimately, India's ability to capitalize on its strengths while navigating new tariff barriers will define its export trajectory in the post-tariff pause era,' said Mohit Gulati.
